Some treasures are better left buried. Godsblighted. That’s what the villagers call her. Even within her family’s protection, Rowan has always known she was different. But now she has the chance to prove that she can protect herself. The chance to prove that different doesn’t mean cursed. Leaving behind the broken promise of her failed magic, Rowan joins her mentor in his search for a Giant’s artifact known as the Grief Draw. But finding it only adds to her problems. Because the ancient Giants were right. This lantern brings pain. Rowan’s magic might be the barest spark, but it is enough to connect her to Gavyn, a young man trapped inside the lantern after a failed attempt to destroy it. He is suddenly Rowan’s only hope for understanding the lantern before it kills again. And she is his only hope for freedom. With fanatic treasure hunters and power-hungry lords closing in, Rowan and Gavyn must figure out how to use the lantern before someone else sets off the weapon even the Giants feared.

Stretcher-bearers is a compelling account of the experience of Australian stretcher-bearers during the First and Second World Wars. Respected military historian, Mark Johnston traces the development of formal stretcher-bearing from its origin in the early nineteenth century under Napoleon to the Second World War. Johnston draws on accounts by stretcher-bearers who worked on the front line, as well as tributes from rescued soldiers, to deepen our understanding of the crucial role these soldiers played in Gallipoli, Palestine, the Western Front in World War I, and in the Middle East and the Pacific in World War II. The narrative is further driven by rich imagery, featuring over 130 full-page photographs. This book provides a generously illustrated, engaging and moving account of the history of the stretcher-bearer, a figure praised by countless Diggers but never previously the subject of a book.

Sixteen years ago a war that humans had been slowly losing for more than two thousand years ended in a place called Iowa. The victors unknowingly overcame seemingly insurmountable odds at the last possible moments and the losers in this titanic battle fled into the unassailable shadows from whence they had come, hiding behind mathematical equations so complex even they were unable to solve all of them. Sixteen years later humans struggle to rebuild from the ashes, plucking discovery upon discovery from the rubble, waiting fearfully in the darkness of space for the return of that which had almost consumed them utterly. One day, sixteen years later, a confluence of events brings humanity both to the brink of a destiny they were completely unaware of being possible and to annihilation. One day, a term almost without meaning to the seemingly vanquished enemy, fate would rise out of the blackness of space, out of a dimension where fate was as predictable as a linear equation, into another where almost nothing could be reliably predicted even with the most fastidious attention to mathematical detail. One day can be as short as a heartbeat or last forever.

a sympathetic coming-of-age story... Cheries romantic misadventures are relatable throughout, reflecting the experiences of co-eds experiencing their first brushes with adult love. An often cynical look at college years and romance, The Torch Bearers Exorcism is a cautionary tale about getting too swept up in what looks like love. Clarion Foreword Review The Torch Bearers Exorcism starts at the close of the 1980s. Cherie is an unusually private and guarded girl with a nonconforming sense of style and a habit of constantly doubting everything around her. When she meets David during her first week on campus her emotions go into overdrive. Hes exactly what she would have asked for if it were possible to wish people into existence. They seem to be two sides of a coin. But does he actually care about her? David is an outgoing, attractive and popular guy with rather a lot more experience in the world than ingnue Cherie. Swept up by passion, subterfuge, confusion and magnetism; Cherie must untangle what she feels and whether she can believe his love for her is real. This is a story about painful love, being a young woman in a less egalitarian time, betrayal and overcoming it. About learning the hard way that people arent always what they seem or what we hoped they would be. About healing and growing into independence. http://www.torchbearersexorcism.com/
